The actress praised Harris, 60, for her support of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Err, do we really give a shit about exactly how old the frontrunner for POTUS is? That's the most important thing to put after her name in an article about this nightmare election? Is this some sort of People Mag editorial standard so we know whether each and every person being described is young enough to be fuckable? smdh

I don't think I need the context to understand this one.

Trump is the market favorite because some rich dipshit was ballot stuffing. Ignore the market betting.

X-rays are naturally occurring in certain environments. You just had to wait for a bunch of natural x-rays to pass through a person into naturally occurring x-ray film.

STOP. FUCKING. REPUBLICANS.

Look, I know women in these situations often have no easy way to get out from the financial situation they're in, or will be alone and unsafe with a vengeful partner. I feel terribly for anyone in that situation, and if I knew anyone like that personally I would offer to help them.

But don't fuck them in the first place.

Nixon was simply a bad president, yes, but Nixon's election campaign popularized the "Southern strategy". Republicans at the time weren't particularly popular in the South because--as they'll happily tell you--Lincoln was a Republican; so they started flirting with racism and courting Southern voters by openly hating black people. It allowed Nixon and others to win elections in the South and became a mainstay of Republicanism. It was the Republican party's first major foray into fascism which relies on misinformation and manipulation of people through their worst impulses.

Since that worked, they've only gotten worse. The Southern Strategy, which began before I was born, is where I peg the start of the collapse of progressive politics.

BTW, until that time Democrats were doing it. The parties pretty much traded places on their stances toward race over the course of a couple of decades. So you could also argue that things have gotten neither better nor worse. If so, that doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm for our future.
